The Shuddering

This is the first book I've read by this author, but I definitely want to read more after reading this great book. The characters are mostly likeable, and you get to know them well enough that you do want them to somehow survive this horror. However, since you're reading a horror novel you know that isn't going to happen, it is just a question of who will die, who willl survive and how they go about trying to survive once the carnage starts. It also doesn't help this novel takes place during a really bad snowstorm, and there is currently lots of snow outside now and when I was reading the book. Definitely a recommended read for horror lovers, especially monster horror. Very well written.
